I am printing a menu using UL, the trouble is the order that is generated by my script is ignored because im printing the LI one after the other and they're spanning three across.

So the order is 1 , 2 , 3 as opposed to

1 2 3

To counteract this i wanted to split my single UL into three that way the order would be maintained.

Here is my code currently which works perfectly to print a single UL.

//Category Drop Down Menu       
$this->CategoryDropDownMenu = '<ul id="subcatmenu">';
foreach($sitemap->CategoryMenu as $val)             
    $this->CategoryDropDownMenu .= '<li><a href="'.$val[host].$val[link].'"><span>'.htmlspecialchars($val[title]).'</span></a></li>';
$this->CategoryDropDownMenu .= '</ul>';
